Coming from a community college where I was very involved, I knew commuting to and from campus would take up a lot of my time.  When I decided to transfer to UH I knew I wanted to cut down my commute time, so I decided to look into living on campus. I really wanted to have more time to participate in campus activities.

I live in the Lofts now and I’m very happy with it. Living on campus is just so nice. It's great to just have everything I need right here. I never have to leave campus and it saves me so much time. I use that extra time to be more involved at UH.  I always think about how a lot of the organizations I’m involved in have events late in the evening. It’s so convenient to be able to walk five minutes back to my room instead of driving 45 minutes home.
